[0029] Preparation of terephthalic acid

[0030] As long as the terephthalic acid in the present invention is obtained by hydrolyzing a dialkyl terephthalate, hydrolysis conditions and the like are not limited, and can be used in the method of the present invention. Dialkyl terephthalates include dimethyl terephthalate, diethyl terephthalate, dipropyl terephthalate, dibutyl terephthalate, dibutyl terephthalate, hexyl ester.

[0031]Among them, it is preferred to use dimethyl terephthalate as a starting material, the reaction temperature of the hydrolysis reaction is 180-300°C, preferably 230-260°C, and the pressure at this time is preferably 2.8-4.6MPa (gauge pressure), Terephthalic acid obtained by reacting under high temperature and high pressure. It is known that a high reaction rate can be achieved by shifting the reaction equilibrium to the product side by discharging the by-product mainly composed of methanol produced during the hydrolysis reaction as vapor out of the...

Embodiment 1

[0053]Dimethyl terephthalate and pure water were put into a batch reactor equipped with a stirrer, and heated. After the liquid temperature reaches 250°C, open the distillation pipe valve set on the upper cover of the reactor to distill and remove the by-product methanol and water vapor produced by the hydrolysis reaction, and at the same time, continuously supply and distill it to the reactor the same amount of water as the water. After a predetermined period of time, while continuing to distill and remove methanol, lower the temperature of the liquid in the reactor to 230°C, keep the temperature for 30 minutes, and let the liquid in the reactor flow through the internal liquid outlet pipe for a moment. The reaction solution was cooled in a container at atmospheric pressure. By controlling the operating conditions during the hydrolysis reaction, the ratio of the mass of reaction water to the mass of terephthalic acid was set to 1.0 in the state of the reaction liquid before ...

Embodiment 2～5、 comparative example 2～3

[0059] In Examples 2 to 5 and Comparative Examples 2 to 3, 1 part by mass of dimethyl terephthalate and 1 part by mass of water were continuously supplied to the first reaction tank using four continuous tank reactors connected in series, respectively. In the process, the hydrolysis is carried out at the temperature of each tank in the range of 220 to 255° C. and the pressure in the range of 2.3 to 4.5 MPa. Further, after the obtained reaction mixture is directly and rapidly cooled to return to atmospheric pressure, the obtained slurry containing terephthalic acid is separated from solid and liquid by a centrifuge to obtain terephthalic acid. The water content of terephthalic acid was 18% by mass. The obtained terephthalic acid had an average particle diameter of 131 μm, and fine particles having a particle diameter of 45 μm or less accounted for 14% by mass. The obtained terephthalic acid was used directly without drying, except that the ratio of ethylene glycol to terephtha...

Abstract

A terephthalic acid-alkylene glycol mixture suitable as a raw material mixture for polyester polycondensation reaction is obtained by preparing a liquid mixture having a temperature of 100-130 DEG C and containing terephthalic acid obtained by hydrolysis of dialkyl terephthalate and at least one alkylene glycol, and stirring this liquid mixture for 15 minutes to 3 hours while maintaining the liquid mixture within the above-mentioned temperature range, thereby adjusting the slurry characteristics of the liquid mixture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to terephthalic acid and alkanes, which are polyester resins widely used in fibers, films, industrial parts, and general moldings, among which polyethylene terephthalate and other polyester materials are representative. Process for the preparation of mixtures of alkylene glycols. More specifically, it relates to the preparation of polyesters represented by polyethylene terephthalate, which is substantially prepared by hydrolysis of dimethyl terephthalate, and is suitable as a raw material for polyesters due to its slurry properties and polyester raw materials. Process for the preparation of mixtures of terephthalic acid and alkylene glycols. Background technique [0002] Polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are prepared by combining a dicarboxylic acid, typically terephthalic acid, with a suitable alkylene glycol ( Typically, a step of mixing ethylene glycol) to prepare a slurry, an esterification step of ...
